Howdy folks

I'm a 29M who got braces on for MMA surgey in February to treat moderate-severe apnea (RDI 36, AHI 13). I've already had UPPP and did no good plus made it so I can't handle pressure over 6 on CPAP. I have a narrow airway from underdeveloped jaw, low BMI. Should have operation roughly next October-December

I have been going through the process with the head of oral-maxofacial surgery at University of Cincinnati. I wanted to find some patient experiences for him and could not find anything except for one post on a jaw surgery forum in 2016 that said he had a horrible experience and the dr did not even know how to do CCR

Curious if anyone has positive experiences with any surgeons in the US specifically for sleep apnea. Also if anyones had true success with MMA fixing apnea. I have United healthcare and need to use insurance, so someone like Kasey Li who apparently doesn't accept insurance is out of the question. Any info is helpful!

I'm a 29M who got braces on for MMA surgey in February for MMA surgery to treat severe apnea (RDI 36). I've already had UPPP and did no good, had a DISE and confirmed obstruction is at tongue base. Should have operation roughly next October-December

I have been going through the process with Dr. Krishnan at University of Cincinnati. He is the head of oral/maxofacial surgery at UC. I wanted to find some patient experiences for him and could not find anything except for one post on a jaw surgery forum in 2016 that said he had a horrible experience and Dr. K did not even know how to do CCR. I'm not totally jumping ship because he is very active pushling research in MMA surgery but definitely a little worried

I am trying to get a shortlist of the best surgeons in the US but everytime I find one that sounds good, I then find threads or comments saying they made the worst mistake of their life by going to see that surgeon.... It's madenning, everything is contradicting on here
